“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:9.

Throughout life, I have come in contact with multitudes of people who claim to be Bible believing Christians of one type or another. One thing that I learned from these encounters is that there is a difference between those whose writings constitute the Bible, and those who read the Bible. And that is: Whether you believe them or not, those who wrote the Bible knew what they were talking about. They are not presenting opinions, but the convictions of their conscience. On the other hand, just because you agree with something written in the Bible does not automatically mean that you know what you are talking about. Unfortunately, it is such people who tend to do the most amount of talking, while saying nothing.

Everyone is naturally deceived. Deception is a state of being that is the result of believing a lie. All lies emanate from one source who is referred to as the father of lies. Many mock at the idea of the existence of such a being. But when one has come to a knowledge of themselves, this being is easily discernible as he tends to speak in first person from within others.

The first lie ever documented is simply stated thus: “Ye shall not surely die.” Everything else ever said that is not true is based on this single foundation of falsehood. When our first parents came into existence, it was not with the expectation of eventually dying. They had no knowledge of it. Death could only come into their experience if they disregarded a single instruction of their Creator that was limited to a single spot on the planet. The test couldn’t have been any easier. Our mother was told the lie, tried to reason with the liar, then witnessed the liar do the very thing they were told not to do without dying. This scientific evidence was enough to make her agree with the liar, and the enemy of death has intruded into the lives of our first parents, and all of their children ever since.

Mortal is a word that has been coined to describe beings that are subject to death. Therefore, a being that is not subject to death is described as being immortal. When the father of lies told our first mother that she wouldn’t die, he was basing that assertion on the notion that they were already immortal instead of them having to develop a character that will allow them to meet the conditions of becoming immortal at the behest of their Creator.

This lie that humans are naturally immortal has continued in various forms ever since. Ironically, one of the biggest culprits of this propaganda is Christianity, and the belief/doctrine that people continue to exist in heaven, hell, purgatory, or some other state of limbo after they die. The good news is that the Creator came into this world as a descendant of our first parents, and met the conditions for humans to become immortal, but the bestowal of that immortality has not yet occurred. Don’t worry though, you’ll know it when it happens.

When people believe they are immortal, it is easy for them to become confused about what it means to be a human. Just because you are one doesn’t automatically mean that you understand what it means to be one. It is written, “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23. According to this, humans are made up of a spirit, a soul, and a body. How these three parts are related is described thus, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Genesis 2:7. So it’s a simple matter of 1+1=2. If you remove a one out of the equation, you don’t have the two either, and it is the two, the soul, which allows a human to exist, and function as a conscious organism.

The body is the easiest part to understand because it is the one that we can see with the eyes, which is another part of our body. The spirit however, is the most allusive part because many people are conditioned/educated to accept a materialistic worldview where the only thing that matters is matter. In simplest terms, the spirit serves as the source of our motives. We are either motivated by love, or by fear. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7. The spirit of fear is what we naturally identify with as ourselves instead of an alien presence that is a consequence of our first parents believing the father of lies. This is how everyone is naturally deceived.

One of the ways humans have attempted to overcome the spirit of fear independently of yielding to the spirit of love is through the formation, and adoption of a philosophical construct called freewill. Freewill teaches that the will is the supreme faculty of the human, and everything else is subjective to that. If this were the truth, and not the second biggest lie of all time, then humans would be able to fulfill the conditions of immortality, and redeem themselves from the curse of death through the force of their own will. Jesus didn’t succeed by living this way, and neither has anyone else.

The fact of the matter is, the will is a faculty of the soul, and the soul is subservient to whatever spirit we are of. If one is motivated by the spirit of fear, then they will exercise their will in conjunction with that spirit to have the body exhibit the behavior necessary to preserve themselves. This is why people will do practically anything for the right amount of money regardless of what they believe is right or wrong.

One of the things that separates humans from the rest of nature is that our first parents were given something called dominion over the rest of the creation. In other words, they were allowed to relate to the creation as if it was their property despite the fact that they were only constituents of it, like everything else. Property is defined as that which one owns, possesses, and can exercise their will over. Money is a symbol that represents property (this would include one’s labor). If humans had no consciousness of property, then money would have no reason to exist because it would serve no purpose.

Our first parents did not come into existence at the same time. Our father came first, and after he passed the tests of character necessary in order to have a companion, our mother was created. When they were united, they were described as being one flesh. This did not mean they were Siamese twins, but that their relationship was orderly and cooperative. After the lie came in, their relationship became competitive, and that competitive nature has been passed on to us, their offspring.

In the proceeding generations, this competitive nature lead humans to regard other humans as property, and this tended to engender violence as some did not want to be the property of others. Eventually the earth became full of violence as there was nothing to keep it in check, and this resulted in a storm that ended almost all life on the planet except for one family, as it is written. After the storm, the Creator allowed humans to execute capital punishment against those who take the life of their fellow humans (see Genesis 9:6).

In the proceeding generations from this, some humans used this permission to execute as justification to determine boundaries, form countries, and institute state power. What most humans don’t realize is that when one belongs to a country, they no longer own any property, including themselves (or even your name for that matter). It all belongs to the state as this is the only way a state can function efficiently. If humans knew this, they may think twice about joining a state, so those who are invested in state power (because they like to own humans) need to persuade humans that it is in their best interest to join their state. In other words, they need to lie, and appeal to their fears. Of course, the biggest lie would be the one that leads humans to believe that they can own property and belong to the country at the same time. This lie is called a person. The word person comes from ancient Rome, and it refers to a mask that an actor wore on stage. Today the word person is used synonymously with the word human because of the subtlety of the lie. When one wears the mask they don’t own property, they only hold it “in person.” And yes, there are consequences to wearing the mask because you are participating in a lie, and engaging in the occultic practice of necromancy.

When people see this, and realize that they don’t want to wear the mask anymore, it isn’t going to go over too well with some folks. Fortunately, there is some good news that was given to me at the time of this revealing. It is written, “I beheld, and the same horn (the final state power) made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.” Daniel 7:21-22. In other words, it will soon be seen who the true owners of the property are.

If someone were to ask me what is the most valuable lesson I’ve ever learned in life, I would have to say it is knowing the difference between true love, and the game of love. The difference is really simple, the game is rigged in favor of the house. Even if one hits the jackpot, and finds someone who is willing to be with them for the rest of their life, the house still doesn’t lose. How the house gets people to play the game is by leading them to believe that they get to be the house simply by participating. One may ask, so what’s the problem? The problem is that what it looks like to be the house for a man is different than what it looks like for a woman. And that leads to a whole host of other problems that the game can never resolve, and the house has no desire to because the house profits from those problems.

Unfortunately, the house doesn’t have to try very hard to get people to play the game because true love has no sex appeal to humanity’s naturally deceived state of being. Women are more vulnerable to actually enjoying the playing of the game because they get to make the rules of the game. Men will play the game, even if reluctantly, because men by nature will say, think, do, believe, agree to, or go along with anything in exchange for sexual favors.

Needless to say, there are consequences to playing the game. One of them is that the participants are easily lead to believe that they are now above the law of God, particularly as it pertains to how humans were meant to relate to one another. The Bible refers to this state of being as adultery. Another revolves around the fact that the Creator never gave humans authorization to make their own rules about anything because such acts are a testimony that the law of God is insufficient to govern the universe, which is the point the father of lies desires to make (that’s how he became the father of lies in the first place). Therefore, the rules that women make to govern the game of love often result in women being subjected to a whole host of abuses, violence, betrayal, and negligence. Even worse than that, one of the first rules that women make in the game is that the sentiments of women are the standard of what defines things like true love, and a true man simply by virtue of the fact that they are female. As a result, many women lose at the game big time, and it tends to leave them feeling very bitter, depressed, suicidal, and believing they are victims of men. That is the forth biggest lie of all time because no one ever had the power, or authorization to force anyone else to play the game. All victims are self-created.

One of the ways people create themselves to be victims is by believing that the course of their entire life was already determined before they were born so that whatever they are or do is beyond their sense of personal responsibility. This predestinationary point of view was popularized by a man named John Calvin who authored the book, Institutes Of The Christian Religion, and is taught to be truth by many theological institutions and seminaries. This victim context of character that is created through this belief, and other means, has made a place for the fifth biggest lie ever, and that is that life is a zero-sum game.

A zero-sum game is the belief that in order for one person to win at something, someone else has to lose. This is especially applicable to money. In order for one human to be rich, someone else has to be poor. Some poor deluded fools will even use the words of Jesus to sustain this lie. He said, “For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.” Matthew 26:11. There will always be poor because there will always be humans who believe the lie, not because God ordained certain people to be poor.

How this belief got started can be traced back to when humans started using silver and gold as money. On the surface, it seems logical to use such things because they don’t deteriorate, and there is a finite amount of it in the earth. But if there is a finite amount of something, and I have it all, then I’m rich, you’re not, and life suddenly appears to be a zero-sum game. Contrary to popular belief, nowhere in the Bible does God instruct humans to use gold and silver as money. The fact is, anything can be used as money as long as the people using it agree on the total quantity to be circulated, and the value each unit it represents.

Another important lesson I’ve learned in life is the difference between making money, and creating wealth. On the surface they look the same when the same object is used to represent both practices. The difference is one of character. Anyone can make money, but the act of creating wealth comes in consequence of living life according to what is true in contrast to what is a lie. Those who lack character will not hesitate to use the Bible to justify their failure. One of the most famous verses for this is, “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1 Timothy 6:10. If one were to read the first nine verses leading up to this, they might see that Paul is saying that people love money because they believe it is an adequate substitute for having character, and that is why it is the root of all evil because everything less than the character of Christ is the character of the father of lies, the source of all evil.

One of the biggest tragedies of humanity is that there are those who will insist on perpetuating these lies because they have some kind of investment in them. Because of this sowing they will reap the lie to end all lies. “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12.

This strong delusion is easily seen when one understands the difference between true righteousness, and the game of religion. This is the other side of the coin to true love versus the game of love as we are told that God is both love and righteous (see 1 John 4:8 and Daniel 9:14). In order for those who are living in this final generation to become immortal without having to experience that by way of the grave, we must be the living embodiment of both of these principles of love and righteousness. That may sound difficult, but it is only the case for those who believe a lie because everything has already been done in order for one to be so if they will believe the truth.

As mentioned previously, when people play the game of love, they tend to see themselves as being above the law of God, and this state of being is referred to as adultery. Such activity tends to prick the conscience, and makes people want to feel forgiven, but not enough to stop playing the game because they still want to be above the law. As a result, they are given the game of religion to play so that they can imagine that they are “saved,” or whatever other term they use to convince themselves that they are somehow accepted of God. This “Christian” religion is described in the seventeenth chapter of the Revelation as the whore of Babylon that is drunk on the martyrs (witnesses) of Jesus.

The law of God is codified in the Ten Commandments. This law is the standard of righteousness because it is the transcript of the Creator’s character. Nine of the commandments say to not do certain things because doing those things misrepresents Him, and His kingdom. Only one of them gives actual instruction on doing something, and that is the observance of the Sabbath day.

The first Sabbath day was the wedding day of our first parents. When they had to leave their home as a result of believing the father of lies, the Sabbath was something they were allowed to take with them to serve as a reminder of what they, and their children would be coming back to in the course of time. Along the way the father of lies, and his religious cult of adulterers have corrupted this symbol by assuming the authority to change its solemnity to another day, and that change has produced to sixth biggest lie of all time, Sunday sacredness.

Sunday, the first day of the week, had been revered for centuries as the day dedicated to the sun in numerous cultures as an act of gratitude for the life infusing energy it gives to all of nature. The fact that Jesus was resurrected on a Sunday was used in the proceeding centuries to persuade the people of these cultures to unite with their "Christian" religion. Eventually, Sunday supplanted the seventh day Sabbath altogether, creating a breach in the law of God.

The fact is, the redemptive significance of the resurrection of Jesus is not that it happened on a Sunday, but that it happened as the antitypical fulfillment of the wave sheaf offering, which occurred two days after Passover (see Leviticus 23:10-11). Therefore, if people wanted to observe a day in honor of the resurrection, it would only be logical to do it on the second day after Passover, which would be a different day of the week every year according to our present calendar.

Another dynamic to this final generation besides the end of death with the bestowal of immortality is that the truth and the lie come to their fullest maturity in everyone according to what they have yielded to. With this maturation comes the greatest conflict of all time, the infamous battle of Armageddon. One way or another, it will be interesting to see how it all unfolds, and what it looks like in real life.
